#maybe it's the ''outer wilds changed my brain chemistry''

[waitineedaname]

if an astronaut got stranded in space far from their ship or any solar system but was able to find peace before running out of oxygen because they could see more stars enveloping them and reminding them that they are not alone in the universe than they could ever see from earth's night sky would that be fucked up or what

waking up in the middle of the night and reading this while half asleep made me feel like that astronaut. I Will Cry goddamn you

#asks #anonymous #THINKS ABOUT THE VASTNESS OF SPACE AND STARTS WAILING #this made me think about kaleidoscope by ray bradbury #if you ever want to feel sad about astronauts. read that short story #maybe it's the ''outer wilds changed my brain chemistry'' #but the vastness of space being lonely but also being a comforting reminder that you're not alone makes me CRAZY!!!!! #space is vast and you can be so far from the people you care about #but the sheer size means you're NOT alone in the universe and somewhere out there are people who love you #thank you for the existential crisis in the middle of the night i want to play outer wilds again now
